Episode 534
Jamard left like that.
They disappeared with the dawn, wearing shabby robes and pretending to be monks.
He also said goodbye to his twin knights and expressed hope that they would meet again someday.
“You really left.”
“... That’s a shame.”
Karen and Karuna were disappointed with his choice.
“...Shall I come back?”
Kang Seol could not easily nod his head to Karen’s question.
“... well.”
There was a high probability that Jamard’s promise to me that he would return someday would not be kept.
His unresolved questions about the curse of Isca that he carries will block their reunion.
It will probably be difficult to watch again.
So what are the feelings that come to you now?
‘I felt relieved... did I feel that way?’
Because we have been together since we were just toddlers in Pandea, we have gone through dangerous adventures together.
It seemed like I could send him off in comfort, just as he wanted. Jamard achieved what he had hoped for.
Now...
‘It’s my car.’
Retrieve all the horse’s resources and head to Ascension. That’s all.
After finishing Jamard’s work, those thoughts became even stronger.
‘By the way...’ In
fact, when I headed to the Federation, I didn’t come expecting any kind of compensation.
Rather than feeling like it was his own adventure, he went out with the feeling of helping Jamard through his hardships.
‘... What is this?’
What Snowfall took out from her bosom was a jewel that had been arbitrarily given as a reward when she completed the sealing of Isca.
A delicate red gem the size of a baby’s face.
[Challenger’s fragment]
Grade: None
Appropriate level: None
Weight: 0.1kg
A fragment created when some of the challenger’s energy is lost.
Special Abilities: Unknown.
A gem whose purpose is unknown.
However, even just looking at it, it contained an unusual energy.
This is the end of the reward from this adventure.
If this reward had been obtained through a normal adventure, it wouldn’t have been surprising if it was a surprise, but since it was obtained in a situation where no reward was expected in the first place, Kangseol was rather satisfied.
‘Well, I guess I can use it somehow.’
Because it has always been like that.
Material.
In particular, materials with a high level of rarity were very useful.
The problem is that there are very few people who can handle these things...
‘... One person comes to mind.’
Snowfall looked in the direction pointed by the compass.
The arrow that is closest to the federation.
‘Cursed Plateau... I guess.’
Based on the direction of the arrow, it was predicted that the place where the next horse would be kept was the Cursed Plateau.
Now that I’ve visited Tamuto Jungle, I can go as far as the Cursed Plateau.
The snowfall just reminded me of what a place the Cursed Plateau was.
‘There is nothing there...’
It is a land where not even a single blade of grass grows properly, let alone people or living creatures.
A land stained black and abandoned.
As far as Kang Seol knew, no horse died here.
However, among the horses that have not yet been recovered, it has been decided who will bother to visit such a place.
Go up.
There was a possibility that Artisan Orgo might have hid there to avoid contact with people.
‘Is he... alive?’
Life and death are unclear.
If there were no problems after seclusion, he would have survived, but if he had gotten sick, he could have died.
“... Then shall we go?”
The twin knights nodded.
* * *
I advance, stepping on the soggy ground.
The swampy area that appeared before the plateau deteriorated the group’s condition.
“Ugh... the bugs are really big.”
“You dealt well with spiders the size of carriages.”
“At least the spider didn’t fly. “There are flying insects the size of leopards flying around here.”
“... That’s true.”
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu that
there were insects all over the place flapping their wings so hard that it made your ears tingle. Pests that have evolved so strangely that they are almost monster-like.
The road leading to the cursed plateau made them hesitate.
Puss...
“It’s better here. My vision also opened up. “Shall we sleep here today?”
“good.”
The group quickly prepares to camp. In the past, when people gathered together to stay overnight, it felt like the place was full, but these days, it actually feels more comfortable.
“You know, what is Gorgozianji... Could it be that the dragon heading there is Tansia?”
Kang Seol nodded to Karen’s question.
“That’s probably right. “After Azanic was defeated, Tansia will be the only black dragon left on Pandea.”
“What if the witnesses were mistaken? In fact, it is not a black dragon...”
“Then it could be Tantu-inu.”
A bad guy.
“Now take it. “It’s the last thing I make.”
“It’s amazing... How can such strength...”
“It’s a trivial feat. “A guy like you doesn’t have the strength to go to a place like this.”
“....”
His lies were obvious to my eyes. But there’s no need to hide it anymore.
Question the guy.
Ever since I found out what he was trying to do and what kind of determination he had, I always felt pity for him.
don’t lie to me
This is the sword I made for you.
“And yet... why are you handing this to me?”
“It’s nothing special. “ Just...”
“Just?”
“... Because you look lonely.”
“....”
The guy frowns.
I feel unfamiliar with favor and compassion.
After all, you’re a child on the inside.
Let’s say a few more words and bring out our true colors.
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Shut up... what do you know...”
“If not, I guess I’m mistaken... what are you planning to do by taking the sword from me?”
“Heehee... heeheehee....”
The guy grinned.
“Very cool! You will die wonderfully! “Because I am immortal.”
Yeah, if that’s the ending you want.
“Let’s go together.”
“hate.”
“I can’t refuse?”
“You can refuse.”
“... What if you plan to take me by force?”
“Puhuhuh....”
What is the last one?
“What are we going to do with the body?”
“... what?”
Fuuuuk...
The dagger pierces the palm.
Damn it hurts.
It should be conveyed properly.
Yes, it was long.
Now is the final exam.
* * *
[You inherit the legacy of ‘Orgo’.]
[Inherit the abilities of the deceased.]
[Inherit the Lover of Fire.]
[You inherit the Lover of Fire.]
[Your fire resistance increases significantly. ]
[Fire-related abilities are improved overall.]
[Fire can be consumed. Depending on the fire consumed, a certain amount of fire resistance is gained and the ability cap is adjusted.]
[Calling: The contents of the things that must be recovered are changed.]
...
Orgo’s energy permeates Snowfall.
“...Siloi.”
Orgo committed suicide, but it was as if Siloi encouraged it.
However, my impressions of experiencing the story and following Orgo’s emotional line were... confusing.
Why did you feel sorry for the immortal or help him?
“... hmm.”
Still, there was a harvest.
It was confirmed that a huge wave occurred when Orgo stabbed himself with an unidentified dagger.
This is a clear sign.
A signal to bring someone here.
Kang Seol wondered if it was him, but it wasn’t.
Orgo and himself never even met each other. There was no need to convey that will even while dying.
So, to whom was that signal delivered?
‘The answer is...’
Bukbuk...
Bukul...
Snowfall turned around at the sign of popularity she had felt earlier.
“....”
Two men and women were standing.
The man froze in place with his expression lost.
“I’m... late.”
The man kneels, blaming himself in the same way as Kang Seol.
“I’m sorry...”
The man’s face distorted and tears fell.
“I’m sorry...Master.”
Kang Seol just looked at him blankly and couldn’t offer any comfort.
Orgo’s end.
The person he left his message to was Xiamen, who disappeared along with Moby Dick.
It was a reunion several years after their meeting in the East.
